Some days you have
to create your own sunshine. And
that’s the key to not merely
surviving in winter but thriving.
Looking after yourself comes
first, so do things that soothe
you; bake bread, hang a nestbox,
walk in the woods or put flowers
in a vase. The weekends matter
more at this dark time of year –
use them wisely. Visiting the
home of a literary hero or having
friends for lunch can transform
a gloomy Saturday afternoon. And
there’s your sunshine, see?Lisa EDITOR LISA SYKES
